Folds of Honor (Dresses for a Cause)

Since I don't play much golf these days, and Monday is Patriot Golf Day, I decided to do the next best thing and make the two dresses shown below to auction off with 100% of the proceeds going to the Folds of Honor Foundation.

This is such a great cause.....Folds of Honor provides post-secondary educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving our great nation. President George W. Bush was recently named the Honorary Chairman of Patriot Golf Day 2010 which benefits the organization:

**Fun fact: My sister Perry is the girl hitting the golf ball the 11 second mark!





These one-of-a-kind upcycled dresses were made from golf shirts and a few of my silk screens. The second one features 13 silk screened stars representing the 13 folds of the flag folding ritual for our fallen heros...read more about the significance here. Click on each dress to view the auction listing! The auctions end on Monday.

    As a former military wife I really appreciate you doing this. I've been trying to find ways to use my crafts to benefit military organizations. I just might have to check them out!!
